4th of july weekend.

for 4th of july everyone got to come! it was so fun. well friday morning we went boating so we did some tubing and jetskiing and i learned how to drive a jetski. i love it!! but it got too windy to do anything else so we docked the boat and decided to sit on a beach and have lunch.

hailey and halle in the boat. halle was the cutest thing in her little lifejacket. she was a little turtle. while we were on the boat she didnt smile or cry the whole time. just so calm.

everyone on the beach eatin lunch.me and mckin playin in the water.

after that we all went to our house and showered then everyone but "nana" and the grandkids went golfing. it was fun to golf and i really want to get better at it so i can be on the high school team.

we came home and had a nice tri-tip dinner cooked by mom and dad. then we had our own firework show in our front yard. every year we do our own fireworks. mckinley halle and easton were amazed by the fireworks,sparklers,rockets, and snaps. it was way fun. then some of us played two fun games of mormon bridge. then we were out.
